Detectify Crowdsource

We automate the knowledge of 150+ handpicked white-hat hackers

Let’s make the internet safer together

Detectify Crowdsource started as an idea that was aligned with our vision to save the
Internet using white-hat hacker knowledge. Today, Detectify Crowdsource is a network
of over 150 white-hat hackers who continuously provide us with valuable security research,
adding several hundreds of unique vulnerabilities to our scanner.

A unique bug bounty experience

Detectify Crowdsource approaches bug bounties in an innovative way, focusing
on platforms instead of specific clients. When a researcher submits a vulnerability
to us, we build a module for it and add it into the Detectify service. By reporting
the vulnerability to us, the security searcher helps secure hundreds of
websites through automation – this is how Detectify combines automation and crowdsourcing.

How it works

1

The hacker finds a vulnerability in a widely used system, such as a CMS, framework, or library.

2

They submit a vulnerability proof-of-concept that is then reviewed by our security team.

3

We automate the vulnerability, build it into the Detectify scanner and run the security test on our customers’ web applications.

4

The hacker will be rewarded for each unique hit the submission produces. By reporting the vulnerability once, they help secure hundreds of websites with automation.
